https://twitter.com/SRJimm/status/1646691758271762434?s=20. Zags beat writer says they’re not involved with Edwards
Interesting. from what I saw things were moving fast for Jessee. - -So would he be such a bad option B if Hunter goes else where? - -Personally - - I think not. - I feel Hunter will land at Maryland. , gonna be very interesting, does Hunter make his visit next week— OR does he commit while he is back home this weekend ? - I think if he comes next week , if we cn actually get him to Campus I think our chances are better BUT yet if Hunter goes elsewhere I really don’t think Jessee would be that bad of backup plan. . Really good board guy 10.3 and rim protector -almost three blocks a game
I think Jesse is a fine option. Definitely worse offensively but he looks like a better defender. Obviously a little hard to judge given he’s played zone his entire career. I also feel Hunter could drag it out and land somewhere local so I agree with you there
-
Okay so we’re feeling good about adding a starting big man and Ingram.
I’d really like to be able to add two guys… If they can’t figure out the Cuffe situation I could see them cutting someone else loose. You can’t take up that many scholarships at the 5 if you’ve got KJ as insurance, a wasted 12th scholarship and no 13th scholarship. Just guessing, but that is something to watch for if Edwards or Dickinson commit.
I think they’re on the hunt for a bench piece that can score. That is what the Primo/Horne/Timberlake buzz feels like to me. I’m good with any of those guys off the bench. Timberlake I’d probably not complain about starting.
And then just find a way to get Kev back. Its starting to make too much sense after you add a guy who can score in the post.

What do u see for Udeh’s and Zuby’s role?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Depends who they get at the 5.
If they get Dickinson, I think you’ll see Udeh get 10-15mpg. The good thing about adding Dickinson is that it would give Udeh someone to learn from on the block. Zuby emergency only (if he is even still on the roster…)
If they land Edwards, I think Udeh will push him for minutes. Could be a 20-20 split. Same role for Zuby as above.
The way this is shaping up, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Zuby portal. Not that I want him to. Or not that the coaches will want him to. But I would understand him not wanting to be the 3rd or 4th guy at the 5 depending on how the staff handles KJ.

Agree I don’t want to see Zuby portal either , brings lots of energy seems like a great kid too. but yet sure don’t want to see Udeh portal EITHER lol dam. I just kinda think that Hunter goes home and then we probably have a shot for landing Edwards. - If I had my choice ya I would want Hunter 1st - -just don’t think it’s going to end up that way though. -which brings into the play you brought out with Edwards and Udeh and Zuby then sticking it out

We’re getting a guard too. A really effing good one.

UNC fans are in full meltdown over Ingram, which is all but a done deal. You love to see it.

A lil birdie told me Dickinson would very strongly consider staying for two years at Kansas if the NIL package is right.

Well if what Gradey and Jalen made this past year is some kind of baseline he shouldn’t have to worry

@BShark Kev back?
Timberlake and primo aren’t really THAT good (solid but not great)
Or you think Ingram? He isn’t what I’d call dynamic…
Someone who hasn’t portaled?

I will post here if he portals. I feel confident right now. We’ll see. A couple different names I’ve heard.

Timberlake probably UConn but maybe UNC. Kansas is no longer recruiting Primo. Ingram isn’t a guard imo.

Happy with all these developments. Need a bonafide guard starter and not a potential bench guy if Cuffe(unfortunately) refuses to leave. the new guy better than Matthew murrell?
-
@rcjhdraft I think most would say yes. There are a couple names one in the portal one not. If Self actually hits on either, people will be thrilled.
-
If Sanogo doesn’t get drafted could he portal?
-
-
@kuballin10 said in Transfer Rumblings:
@mayjay Yes, @BShark said Memphis would be a player there
He’d be a heck of a late pickup
I think the talk now is that he will stay in the draft. I hope so lol.
-
I haven’t been able to keep up too much in past couple of weeks due to soccer season beginning for me so I have a question for you. @BShark. Based on your comment that you feel like the guard KU is likely to land is potentially viewed better as Spears and there being two names in the portal already, would it those names include Javian McCollum, Chance Westry, Aaron Estrada, RJ Luis, Kario Oquendo, Taran Armstrong, Amaree Abram, Jaden Bradley, Joseph Girad, Tylor Perry, Jared Bynum, or Austin Nunez?

I don’t think the name currently in the portal is legit. I’m trying to hear it from more reliable people first.
-
I’ll toss a name out I’ve heard KU will be interested in: Raequan Battle. 6’5 wing from Montana State, started out at Washington. 3 and D guy. Very strong defender in that league on high volume minutes.
-
Just hit the portal today if anyone is wondering. But that’s not the not yet in the portal name I’ve been hearing.

I want this kid on the team next year.
-
@TYOHawk Ditto. Might be a hot take, but Battle >> Livingston for me. Battle fits better with the other pieces.

Couldn’t agree more especially with the rumors of Livingston demanding to play the wing. Having two high iq passers/connectors like DaJuan and Ingram would really unlock Dickinson and battle imo.

The fit is so good it’s almost certainly not going to happen. My info is a little dated on him but I do know KU was going to be interested should he portal.
-
Well got this from TOS - it was a post from on 3 site – so not getting no woodie about the substance of it BUT just what they are now saying that they have actually changed their pick and say KU is the favorite now to land Hunter -they give KU a 62 % chance of Hunter committing here. would be nice for sure just think I’m gonna stay with my thinking right now and say he commits to Maryland , now things can change for sure again IF he follows through on his visit to KU -then I think our chances improve drastically.
The question becomes IF Edwards & Hunter BOTH say they want to come play for KU - - Jessee commits 1st then Hunter says he is coming - - WHO do you take ? -do you by pass Jessee for Hunter ? - -for sure understandable -BUTwhat if we by pass Jessee and then Hunter in the end lands somewhere else after all?- So then we lose out on both? - -Do we take who ever commits 1st ?
-
@jayballer67 Edwards is strictly Plan B to Hunter. He won’t have a committable unless Hunter goes elsewhere.
-
I know it’s not us BUT se it looks like it may come down to a 2 School race for Abmas from ORU. Looking like Texas & KSU.
Reality looks like Texas REALLY needs him. - - Hunter in the draft - - Morris in the Portal - -& the commit from 5 * AJ Johnson - - is now decided he is playing ball in Australia- -they hurting at guard
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

not disagreeing just curious. Thing is if Hunter drags this out Jessee commits some where else - then Hunter commits elsewhere - - - then DUM - - DEE - -DUM - -DUM

is the guy not in the portal potentially going through the draft process?
-
@rcjhdraft Don’t think anything has been announced at all by him at this time including that. He’s a pro eventually, but maybe not NBA.
-
BShark - -what happened to Spears ? - -Why did we back off of him ? - Is it because of another Guard - that’s probably very likely to commit ? – Like Timberlake possibly ?
-
@jayballer67 I think we backed off because we are hearing other guards coming into the portal like this new Battle guy we like more or thinking better guards are gonna portal
-

The staff is very concerned about double transfers actually being eligible or not. No need to play the waiver game with a guy that isn’t great anyway. It’s also possible that TCU is unable to take him due to academics. He will still visit TCU. The KU visit was canceled.
-
Battle is one hell of an athlete. Very intrigued

Oh ya, I had totally forgot - -he had already transferred once and dam I mentioned that same thing myself sometime back about needing to get a waiver? /right . - -we smart thinking probably on staffs part. - We just have someone who can score the dam ball.
That’s why I think Hunter is almost a must - -Timberlake would be great at the 2 - - If we got Hunter - -Ingram - and Timberalke would be a good haul

Battle brings back Josh Jackson and Och lobs!
He is a ridiculous athlete - go get him Bill
Juan
Dude stud guard @BShark has referenced
Battle
Ingram
Hunter
Bench Elmarko - udeh - kj - whichever guard shows in practice
Nasty
-
Personally, I don’t care if we get a 5/big guy. Udeh is going to explode next year, and KJ is a 3rd year Self guy to fit into other situations.
Give me 6-7 Ingram to replace Jwill and one more upper classman guard (who shoots 39% from three) and I’ll be happy.
-
If there are only 3 spots I’m conflicted about a guard or wing. I suppose it’s BPA. If you let me choose, I’ll take Battle, Ingram, Hunter and shut it down. The 4th spot makes so much difference if it’s available.
-
@DanR I want Udeh to work xtra hard this summer! Somebody to work hard with him!
-
@BeddieKU23 said in Transfer Rumblings:

Only concern with battle is that he’s already used his free transfer and idk how close he is to graduation
-
Yeah, the 2nd transfer thing is obv a concern, perhaps his situation is different then Spears who we have backed off on thankfully. Really need that 4th spot to open because he would be worth using that spot there

Yeah, I am still weary that we are able to add 4 guys. 3 real guys would be good enough for Bill to have a damn good team next year. Though in a perfect world you could add 2 wings and a true guard.
Bill seems set on a big.
As far as Raequan Battle, he’s been in college 4 years, so you’d think he would be a grad transfer.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Bring back Cole A
-
If you land Battle, Ingram and Dickinson in the portal, it’s a home run.
BUT if you can make room for a 4th and put Kev on that team it’s a walk-off grand slam.
Juan/Battle/Ingram/Kev/Dickinson
KJ/Udeh/Elmarko/MAdams off the bench.
Just give us the 1 seed in the Midwest now.
